The 21 Series: Shep Smith, Fox News, Fact Checked Trump’s Immigration Lies.

(1/10/2019 emailed 21 Republican Senators up for re-election in 2020)

Fox News anchor, Shep Smith, on Tuesday night immediately fact-checked Donald Trump’s speech on border security, undermining claims Trump made during his Oval Office address.

Trump cited examples of undocumented immigrants committing violent acts once they cross into the U.S. Smith stated, “Statistics show that there is less violent crime by the undocumented immigrant population than by the general population.”

Trump stated undocumented immigrants are pouring across the border. Smith said, “The number of undocumented crossings over the southern border has been steadily down over the last 10 years, and the government reports that there is more outward traffic than inward traffic.”

Trump on Tuesday night reiterated his claim the wall would help stop the flow of drugs across the southern border, but Smith stated, “government statistics show much of the heroin actually comes not over the unguarded border but through ports of call.”

Shep Smith, not Rachel Maddow, fact checked Trump lies made during the Oval Office speech. Trump is a pathological liar and his plan for a wall is farcical. 47% of voters blame Trump for the government shut down. Put your country first and work with Democrats to end the government shut down without a wall. If you continue to support Trump, the Blue Tsunami will sweep you and 20 other Republican senators from office in 2020.
